| gergroy said: So, you are saying the difference in difficulty is comparable to kindegarten math vs abstract algebra? You dont think that is a bit of hyperbole? So, in real world application, if i knew enough to program for the ps4 i would have to study game development for an additional 15+ years in order to code for the ps3? Thats the difference in schooling between the two math problems you give as examples... |
You missed the point entirely.
All you need are the definitions of the claim in order to prove it.
The difference between solving 2 + 2 and proving that the product topology X x X - {(a, a) | a in X} is a Hausdorff space is that anyone can solve 2 + 2, but only people with a sufficiently high IQ can solve the latter. There's barely any prior knowledge required in proving that statement, so you don't need 15+ years of math education.
In the same way, you don't need years of coding experience to code for the PS3. It's just insanely more g-loaded than typical PC programming.
